[BC] FCC query re AM

[Alan Gearing]

Milt,

You might want to remind your client that CP's expire after 3 years and
can be extended only in very limited circumstances.  They need to
implement the CP and worry about extended hours powers later.  (If the 
amount of power is truly critical to whether or not implementing the CP 
is worthwhile, any engineering consultant should be able to determine 
approx what power the FCC will authorize - assuming they ever get back 
to issuing PSRA's and PSSA's again.)

Regards,

Al Gearing
